Nearing Completion.

The railroad grade between Great
Falls and Fort Benton is rapidly approach
ing completion and at this stage it can
readily be seen that there is considerable
heavy work on the line between this city
and the Bullhead station. From the lat
ter point to Benton the work is cempara-
lively light. The grade is now completed
throughout except a. the heavy cuts aud
fills, and there is no danger that the track
will catch them even at these points. The
work at Black Horse lake, where Jones
Bros. have the contract, will in all prob
ability be longest delayed.

The Thetis Overdue.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. September 16.-
Some dissatisfaction is expressed at the
navy department over the slow progress of
the United States steamer Thetis towards
Alaska. The vessel sailed several months
ago from Portsmouth, Virginia, and
should have reached her destination by
this date if she equaled the trip of the
Bear which is a slower vessel When
last heard from the Thetis was at Callao
Peru, and it is extremely Doubtful now if
she could reach Alaska where she is to
assist in protecting the seals, before winter
closes.

How Co XIII Rats.

As these cunning rodents are quite nu'
merous in various parts of Eureka, espe'
cially in warehouses, she following may be
of use in the effort to exterminate them:
"To attempt to catch rats by traps or
by poisoning them suddenly will fall"
said an old rstcatcher recently to a re-
porter for the New York Mail and Ex-
press. sold rats know too much, and
can be caught only by kindness. To de-
stroy them, give them q good meal every
day. Do not put any poison in the food,
but simply prepare a dish for them daily,
as q free lunch, composed OF corn meal,
moistened with milk, into which one egg
with a little salt to season has been
beaten. At first they may not touch 1t,
but keep it before them, making IL fresh
every day. They will soon try a little,
and IL moi injurious their suspicious will
be allayed. In a week or ten days they
will expect it and every rat on the place
will be at the appointed spot for the treat.
Give plenty of IL 80 as to induce all the
rats in the neighborhood to join in. Do
not be in a hurry to poison them. II they
eat all the food give them a larger por-
ton next time. AS soo as they have
thrown off all suspicion get som phos-
pherous paste or other rat poison, mix it
with the food and be sure to give them
enough, and something to spare so as to
induce all to eat. They will either be killed
or become 30 suspicious of all food that
a ra! will remain"

Freezing Mixture.

A liquid invention by Roaul Pictet, OF
Geneva, Switzerland, for use as q disin-
~fectant, answers well as a freezing mixture
for hardening microscope specimens.
Sulphur dioxide. having been mixed and
cooled, are compressed until they are
liquid, and stored in siphons. When
liberated, they rapidly evaporate, with
great reduction of temperature. By this
means mercury may be frozen, and ami
NAL or vegetable tissues rendered solid in
a few seconds. II is as easily managed
and more effective than ether, the odor
being the principal objection.
